The origins of Elmwood Agricultural College date back to the 1940’s. Evening classes in agriculture, horticulture, engineering, business and general studies were provided at Bell-Baxter continuation school until Fife County Council purchased the property of Elmwood House, Gardens and Greenhouses to be used as the site for Elmwood Agricultural Centre. In 1956, the first day release classes for agriculture and horticulture apprentices in Scotland began at the Centre. Hope Park House and its 5 acres of land were purchased in 1957 due to increased number of students. The centre continued to expand and in 1971, it acquired Springfield Farm. This provided practical livestock, crop and machinery facilities for staff and students of the College.
The main building of Elmwood Agricultural College was officially opened in 1972 by Sir Hector Munro. The new buildings provided facilities for courses in agriculture, horticulture, engineering, business studies, liberal studies and catering.
Construction of Elmwood Golf course started in 1995 and opened in 1997.
In 2012, the College became part of Scotland's Rural College (SRUC).
